Kenmore Built-In 51 lb. Capacity Ice Maker... Reviews
This was a replacement for a Maytag ice maker I previously owned. If your refrigerator doesn't make ice quickly enough for you, or if you simply prefer smaller cubes of ice, this ice maker will certainly fit the bill. Built-in filters give the ice a very clean, neutral taste. The only cons against the product is the higher cost than I would've liked to have paid, and the slightly louder motor when it's running, compared to my previous Maytag ice maker.
I have had three of these in 10 years of home ownership. Yep 3, and all 3 have died. First one died within the 1 year warranty. Took it back and swapped under warranty. Next One died about 2 years later, and I took it in under the satisfaction guarantee, and after much arguing with Store Management got it replaced. Well the 3rd one, I have replaced the Ice Coils that melt the ice, the pump motor that pumbs the water, the pickup motor and device, and now I am being told by the repairman, that there is a freon leak and he thinks it is going to cost over $300 estimate to repair. Paid like...

i would not reccommend this Kenmore Built-In 51 lb. Capacity Icemaker Freezer (8958) to anyone. it is really loud and it is not something you would want in your house. it is overpriced when you compare the quality and what it really does. you can find something that does the same for way less.
i bought this ice maker for our new home . the first week in our home i woke up to an extremely loud noise... so loud that i thought someone was breaking in my house...no kidding i jumped straight up in my bed. it was the ice maker. the random noises it makes are rumbling, springy, banging, and also clicking. the ice produces great -so far not a problem with that but the noises are the downfall of this product. my advise: dont buy it unless you can tolerate the noise! i have always liked kenmore products but this one i dont like at all!!
We use this at home. With many people coming,going we needed a machine that would be reliable and consistent. It has proven to be both. We have never run out of ice and have enough to loan to friends. Very happy overall and you get used to the compressor sound pretty quick.
